Travis Kelce and his elder brother Jason have spent more than a decade in the NFL. In that time, the duo has amassed a lot of wealth, the majority of which comes from their earnings in the NFL. But how do the siblings compare to superstar QB Jalen Hurts?

Hurts has only spent a fraction of time in the NFL compared to the Kelce siblings. However, he plays in the lucrative QB position, while the brothers occupy TE and center positions, respectively. So can the duo take on the star quarterback in terms of earnings?

Can Jalen Hurts overtake the Kelce brothers?

After the Super Bowl loss in 2023, the 25-year-old Hurts signed a blockbuster contract extension with the Philadelphia Eagles. This contract is worth $255 million over 5 years. Further, Lemon Perfect, Gillette, Pepsi, Louisiana Hot Sauce, and Kellogg’s are some brands he has deals with.

On the other hand, Travis Kelce signed a 4-year contract extension in 2020 worth $57.25 million. This secures him an annual salary of $14.3 million until 2026. In addition to his NFL earnings, the TE also makes money from endorsement deals with brands like Nike, Old Spice, and T-Mobile as well as fast food companies McDonald’s and Papa John’s.

His older brother, Jason, was on a one-year contract with the Eagles. The deal amounted to $9 million. Between 2022 and 2023, he had an average annual salary of 14,250,000 dollars, which was the biggest contract of his career. Jason Kelce also had various endorsement deals throughout his career, including Old Spice and 6 Shooter Energy Shots. Even though there’s much disparity between Jason and Travis’s contracts, the duo overtakes Jalen Hurts. And by a significant margin.

As of 2024, brothers Jason and Travis Kelce have a combined net worth of $70 million, while Hurts’ net worth is around $30-35 million. Though Hurts is on a lucrative contract, the time factor plays in favor of the Kelce brothers since their career earnings are much more significant.

Fruitful decades in the NFL!

The Kelce brothers have spent 24 seasons combined with the NFL, while Jalen only has four. And this disparity is visible in the money these athletes have made over their careers. These earnings are further increased, with multiple income streams, apart from the salary. Incentives and signing bonuses also play a part.

Older brother Jason, in his 13 seasons with the Eagles, has made more than $81 million while Travis Kelce in his 11 seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs has raked in almost $77 million. On the other hand, Hurts’ career earnings till now are only about $29 million.Will Hurts eventually overtake the brothers in finances over time? But for now, the Kelce brothers have a leg up over the star QB Jalen Hurts.

Philadelphia Eagles powerhouse and six-time Pro Bowl center Jason Kelce isn’t just making waves on the field.

The 36-year-old is steadily expanding his real estate empire across Pennsylvania, New Jersey — and even in Cleveland.

Kelce, the brother of NFL sensation Travis Kelce, who has been nabbing recent headlines of his own for his relationship with Taylor Swift, initially settled in a modest but elegant four-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home in Pennsylvania back in 2018.

Purchased for $680,000 after tying the knot with Kylie McDevitt, Kelce found a deal, snagging the property for $120,000 less than its initial listing price.

The Haverford-based property, spread across an acre of land, boasts picturesque views and luxurious amenities, the previous listing notes.

Features include an in-ground pool, a circular driveway and a spacious wraparound deck offering views of the landscaping.

But it seems the NFL star has bigger visions in mind.

Just two years later, in 2020, Kelce made another move, acquiring the adjacent property spanning 8 acres for a staggering $3.96 million. Not stopping there, Kelce added a third one to his portfolio in September of this year, dropping $1.35 million on yet another adjacent home.

Insiders close to the athlete reveal that Kelce’s master plan involves demolishing the existing structures to create a single sprawling estate, an architectural wonderland decked out with every imaginable luxury and amenity.

However, Kelce’s property ventures extend beyond Pennsylvania’s borders.

Last summer, he diversified his portfolio, securing a beachside four-bedroom retreat in New Jersey’s Sea Isle City — just a block away from the sandy shores.

Boasting three levels and multiple patios, this acquisition marked his foray into coastal real estate.

Twain has been an avid Swift supporter, and attended the ‘Eras’ tour last year

Shania Twain has shared new praise for Taylor Swift – see what Twain had to say below.

In a new cover profile with Haute Living, Shania Twain talks about her trouble with accepting credit for the talent she was born with: “I wouldn’t say I’m proud of anything I’ve done. Pride is not a great word for me, because I don’t think you can take credit for creative gifts if you were born with them; you can only take credit for developing them. What I would say I’m proud of is that I had the courage to take risks, that I could be so hard-working and dedicated.”

In this sense, she likens herself to Taylor Swift, who she praised for her work ethic. “That girl is working her butt off. She is living an exhausting existence, but she’d dedicated and committed to herself, to her art, and her work. It isn’t even about ambition, though I’m sure that most people would call her ambitious,” Shania Twain said.

Twain went on to explain: “She’s an extremely hard worker, and I’m sure she’s got giant goals. But it’s not all about ambition: it’s about passion and committing yourself to your passion. [Like Taylor], I was and am someone who does that, and that’s what really reaps rewards. So, I would say that I’m most proud of my perseverance, and that I didn’t waste my talents.

This isn’t the first time that Twain – who will be performing the legends’ slot at Glastonbury this year – has shown support for Taylor Swift. In 2022, Twain congratulated Swift after the latter broke Twain’s long-standing US chart record. Twain wrote on social media at the time: “Historical records are meant to be made and then broken. The baton is meant to be passed on to new generations. Unstoppable young female country artists are [flame emoji] inspite of the hurdles.”

Twain’s opinion of Taylor Swift notable juxtapose Courtney Love‘s recent comments about the pop singer. The Hole frontwoman recently slammed Taylor Swift, saying that she is “not important” and “not interesting as an artist”.

Speaking to The Standard in an interview recently, love shared “Taylor is not important. She might be a safe space for girls, and she’s probably the Madonna of now, but she’s not interesting as an artist.”

Taylor Swift doesn’t talk aboυt her personal life; she sings aboυt it.

“I don’t talk aboυt мy personal life in great detail. I write aboυt it in мy songs, and I feel like yoυ can share enoυgh aboυt yoυr life in yoυr мυsic to let people know what yoυ’re going throυgh,” Swift told Glaмoυr in 2012.

So who, exactly, мight she singing aboυt in her latest albυм, “The Tortυred Poets Departмent”? The title of the albυм alone had fans drawing coмparisons to the “Tortυred Man Clυb” once referenced by actor Joe Alwyn, Swift’s boyfriend of six years. News of their split first broke in April 2023.

Bυt υpon initial listens to the albυм at мidnight on April 19, Swifties think she мay be singing aboυt Matty Healy, the lead singer of The 1975, on the albυм.

Swift and Healy appeared to be in a short-lived roмance in the spring of 2023, following her split with Alwyn. She confirмed neither her breakυp with Alwyn nor her relationship with Healy.

Since then, she has begυn dating Travis Kelce. Both Kelce and Swift have spoken openly aboυt their relationship.

What happened between Matty Healy and Taylor Swift?

Rυмors of a roмance between Swift and Healy blossoмed in May 2023, weeks after Swift and Alwyn were said to have broken υp. It wasn’t the first tiмe, either: Headlines specυlating the two мυsicians were together date back to 2014.

Bυt last spring’s pairing was мore overt. They were spotted holding hands in New York in May. Swift and Healy also appeared to be coммυnicating to each other onstage, per a TikTok coмpilation of two concerts.

Dυring a May 3 concert in Manila, Philippines, Healy looked into a caмera and seeмingly мoυthed the words, “This is aboυt yoυ, yoυ know who yoυ are. I love yoυ.”

While perforмing in Nashville days later, Swift looked into a caмera and seeмed to мoυth the saмe мessage. Healy happened to be attending that show, standing in the crowd with opening act Phoebe Bridgers and Lυcy Dacυs, who also sings with Bridgers in the мυsical groυp Boygeniυs.

Swift also attended The 1975’s concert on Jan. 12, 2023, in London, per Billboard, singing “Anti-Hero” and a cover of The 1975’s “The City.”

Healy’s divisive statυs in the pop cυltυre world caмe υnder scrυtiny while he was linked to Swift. He is known to kiss fans onstage, and his other antics inclυde eating raw мeat dυring shows.

Then, after Ice Spice collaborated with Swift on a reмix of “Karмa” in May 2023, Healy’s past coммents aboυt the rapper caмe to light.

In Febrυary 2023, Healy laυghed and joined in on racist jokes aboυt Ice Spice in a since-deleted episode of “The Adaм Friedland Show.”

Healy pυblicly apologized to Ice Spice at a concert in New Zealand in April. In Septeмber 2023, the rapper told Variety that she and the rocker are “good” after he apologized “a bυnch of tiмes.” Healy’s representative didn’t respond to NBC News’ reqυests for coммent at the tiмe.

Healy doυbled down on his provocative natυre in a May 2023 New Yorker profile, adмitting to “baiting” fans “a little.”

“Nobody is sitting there at night slυмped at their coмpυter, and their boyfriend coмes over and goes, ‘What’s wrong, darling?’ and they go, ‘It’s jυst this thing with Matty Healy.’ That doesn’t happen,” the мυsician said. “If it does, yoυ’re either delυded or yoυ are, sorry, a liar. Yoυ’re either lying that yoυ are hυrt, or yoυ’re a bit мental for being hυrt. It’s jυst people going, ‘Oh, there’s a bad thing over there, let мe get as close to it as possible so yoυ can see how good I aм.’ And I kind of want theм to do that, becaυse they’re deмonstrating soмething so base level,” he said.

Is ‘The Tortυred Poets Departмent’ aboυt Matty Healy?

Healy, the frontмan of The 1975, has been said to sport a “tortυred, extra frontмan caricatυre.” Bυt is there lyrical evidence to sυpport that he’s the tortυred poet in qυestion? Here’s what fans have pointed to so far:

‘Tattooed golden retriever’

In “The Tortυred Poets Departмent” titυlar song, Swift describes soмeone falling asleep next to her “like a tattooed golden retriever.” Healy, notably, has мany tattoos. Alwyn has no visible tattoos.

Typewriters

Typewriter imagery aboυnded in the rolloυt of “The Tortυred Poets Departмent.” Swift teased lyrics on typewriters. Then, days before the albυм caмe oυt, a pop-υp library installation in L.A. featυred books, typewriters and typed-oυt lyrics.

A typewriter with a paper that reads

Lyrics froм “The Tortυred Poets Departмent” also мention typewriters — and a person who loved theм.

Swift sings, “Yoυ left yoυr typewriter at мy apartмent, straight froм the Tortυred Poets Departмent / I think soмe things I’ll never say ‘ Like who υses typewriters anyway?”

In a 2018 interview with GQ, Healy мentioned typewriters while speaking aboυt 10 things he “coυldn’t live withoυt.”

“I really like typewriters … the thing is with typewriters, and writing with pen to paper, there’s an eleмent of coммitмent that goes with the cereмony of it. It reqυires concentration a bit better,” he said.

Carrying on, he also explained why he always carries aroυnd a notebook: “It’s мainly stories I write aboυt мy dreaмs aboυt being in love with other pop stars,” he said, showing off the black notebook.

A 2016 profile of Healy in The Gυardian мentions his typewriter in the second paragraph: “An Olivetti typewriter is perched on the living rooм table, a series of 20th-centυry clocks on the wall. It really does feel as if it coυld be 1975 at Healy’s hoмe in east London.”

Lυcy and Jack

The chorυs of “The Tortυred Poets Departмent” мentions two first naмes: Lυcy and Jack. Both Swift and the sυbject of the song confided the saмe sentiмent to those friends.

She sings, “Soмetiмes I wonder if yoυ’re going to screw this υp with мe / Bυt yoυ tell Lυcy yoυ’d 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 yoυrself if I ever leave / And I had said that to Jack aboυt yoυ so I felt seen / Everyone we know υnderstands why it’s мeant to be / ‘Caυse we’re crazy.”

Coυld they be Lυcy Dacυs, singer-songwriter and мeмber of Boygeniυs, and Jack Antonoff, the prodυcer and collaborator Swift calls a friend?

Dylan Thoмas and Patti Sмith

In “The Tortυred Poets Departмent” song, Swift υndercυts any coмparisons between herself and the greats that caмe before her when she sings, “I laυghed in yoυr face and said, ‘Yoυ’re not Dylan Thoмas, I’м not Patti Sмith / This ain’t the Chelsea Hotel / We’re мodern idiots.”

Patti Sмith is an Aмerican singer-songwriter and мeмoirist. Dylan Thoмas was a Welsh raconteυr and poet who died in 1953. Both lived in the Chelsea Hotel at one point, a hotel in New York that also coυnted artists like Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Jack Keroυac and Loυ Reed aмong its gυests.

Chocolate

In “The Tortυred Poets Departмent,” Swift sings, “Yoυ sмoked then ate seven bars of chocolate.”

One of The 1975’s мost faмoυs tracks is “Chocolate.” In the song, chocolate is a eυpheмisм for мarijυana.

Travis and Jason Kelce are winning the NFL on and off the field as their New Heights Podcast literally reaches new heights just a year after its launch. It is believed that their profitable project will further boost their combined net worth of $60,000,000. Ever since the sports landscape has changed lanes from traditional broadcasting to player podcasts, the Kelces have done a tremendous job in luring all that audiences for themselves.

The New Heights podcast is undeniably a well-thought-out talk show that has consistently been at the top of sports podcasts. However, it caught even more fire when Travis and Jason reached the Super Bowl in the same season as the launch of the podcast. That said, they are certainly doing something different since the market is flooded with a lot of player-hosted podcasts.

New Heights Podcast is Well and Truly Exploding

The popularity of the New Heights podcast saw a massive uptrend even before Super Bowl LVII scenarios became clear. As Joe Pompliano says, it is primarily because of the incredibly talented siblings, paired with the precise hosting strategy and intelligent distribution of content that led to its success.

In just one year, the podcast has seen enormous growth in audience with over 3.5 million followers across all social media platforms. The content shared by the Kelces’ New Heights has been immensely successful in grabbing user attention unlike most of the other player-hosted podcasts.

Furthermore, their new project saw a surprisingly huge sell-out in merchandise sales within the first few weeks of the launch making six figures off of it. The podcast has consistently secured the top 5 spot in sports podcasts which only shows how much the Kelces have been in demand for the new age sports viewers.

The New Heights Podcast, as per Forbes, has been so successful that it charges up to 100% higher CPMs than its industry standards. Also, they have worked with some major brands like DraftKings, LinkedIn, and Athletic Greens. Additionally, as per Joe Pompliano, they have also sold substantial inventory for the 2023 season.

Witnessing the growth of their podcast is only going to tremendously boost their combined net worth of $60,000,000 ($40 million for Jason Kelce and $20 million for Travis Kelce). The New Heights Podcast is certainly one of the best business decisions of the Kelces since they are not only occupying a space in the media industry, but are also securing a post-NFL career just like Pat McAfee.

The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to contract extensions with head coach Andy Reid, general manager Brett Veach and team president Mark Donovan, the team announced.

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed contract extensions with the highest-ranking members of the organization, reportedly making Andy Reid the highest-paid head coach in the NFL and keeping general manager Brett Veach and team president Mark Donovan in Kansas City for years to come. The Chiefs announced the trio of contract extensions Monday night, and key elements of Reid and Veach’s deals were reported shortly after. 

Tom Pelissero of NFL Network tweeted details about Reid and Veach’s contract extensions, noting that Reid is now “the NFL’s highest-paid coach” on a deal that runs through 2029. Veach, according to Pelissero, “is under contract through the end of the decade.”

Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt highlighted the trio’s success in a press release announcing the extensions.

“Mark, Brett and Andy have achieved historic success together, and we are thrilled that they will continue in their roles for many years to come,” Hunt said. “Individually, Mark, Brett and Andy each represent the best in the National Football League at their respective positions, and together, they make up one of the finest leadership teams in all of professional sports. They have been tremendous leaders for this organization on and off the field, and we look forward to their continued success in the years ahead.”

In the same press release from the team, Reid expressed his gratitude for his time in Kansas City.

“I’m incredibly grateful to Clark and the entire Hunt family for giving me the opportunity to lead this historic franchise,” Reid said. “Over the last 11 years, Tammy and I have enjoyed calling Kansas City our home. The community has embraced us, we’ve watched our family grow, including having all 12 grandkids during our time here. On the field, there have been so many people that have contributed to our success and Super Bowls, and I’m grateful to the players, coaches and staff that have all invested their time into this process. I’d also like to thank my agent, Bob LaMonte. Chiefs Kingdom is a special place and I’m blessed to have the opportunity to be here.”

Veach echoed similar sentiments as he and his crew prepares for the 2024 NFL Draft.

“I’d like to thank Clark and the entire Hunt family for the support I’ve received these past seven seasons,” Veach said. “I am blessed to work alongside very talented people and am proud of the work we’ve done to bring three Super Bowls to Kansas City. I am excited to continue my career in a city that’s embraced me and my family the way it has and look forward to more opportunities to bring more championships to Chiefs Kingdom.”

The Black Dog Pub, a mention of which Taylor Swift slides in in her new album The Tortured Poets Department, sees unprecedented footfall by Swifties in London.

Taylor Swift may be helping not only America’s economy, but also that of a pub in London. The Black Dog Pub, which finds a mention in her new album The Tortured Poets Department, has seen unprecedented footfall from Swifties in the city, as per a report by The Independent. (Also Read – Post Malone dedicates gratitude note to Taylor Swift for collaboration in Fortnight music video: ‘I am beyond honoured’) The Black Dog Pub in London finds a mention in Taylor Swift’s new album

What’s the connection?

The 17th track of Taylor’s new album is called The Black Dog. The lyrics of that track go:

HT launches Crick-it, a one stop destination to catch Cricket, anytime, anywhere. Explore now!

“I am someone who until recent events you shared your secrets with and your location.
You forgot to turn it off.
And so I watch as you walk into some bar called The Black Dog.”

Many speculate that the album is in reference to Taylor’s past relationships with British actor Joe Alwyn and The 1975 lead singer Matty Healy, given songs like So Long, London. So the internet wasn’t surprised to find out that “The Black Dog,” in reference is an actual bar in the Vauxhall area of the city.

Swifties swarm the Black Dog

Now, ever since the album dropped, scores of Swifties rushed to the London pub. The Independent quoted Amy Cowley, the marketing consultant for The Black Dog Pub, as saying, “Last night we were turning people away because we were at total mass capacity. We’re expecting a lot more. We’re all hands on deck, getting more team members in, getting security at the door to help manage the big crowds.”

She added, however, that the bar staff is still coming to terms with the “surreal” attention they’ve got through the song. “To now get that sort of international level of recognition is surreal but it’s lots of fun. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind, but we’re enjoying it,” she added.

The pub is now offering deals for Swifties: the first 100 who can sing a lyric from Taylor’s song gets a new, customised drink called ‘Swift Half.’

“I was just thinking ‘if i were the owner of the black dog, i’d post on the pub’s socials that it’s not shitty here’ and i checked their insta and they actually had a deal for swifties thats so cute,” wrote a user on X.

“Sorry but not The Black Dog being the pub AT THE END OF MY ROAD of my old flat that i lived in with my ex bc, that i walked past EVERY DAY FOR A YEAR??? when i first heard the song title my heart did a flip and oh my goddd,” posted another.

“The black dog pub about to get so much business this week,” shared a third one. The Black Dog Pub is expecting as much or more footfall when Taylor comes to London in June and August a

When your kids are Travis and Jason Kelce, it’s only natural that people are going to wonder about your family—and that even includes finances. While Ed Kelce’s net worth can’t quite compare to how much his sons make as NFL players, the father of two definitely carved out a successful career and life for himself.

Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Ed Kelce was the oldest of two children. He grew up in what he described as a “blue collar” neighborhood, revealing on an episode of his sons’ podcast “New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce” that he had “a lot of fun” in his hometown. Like his sons, he played football in high school—but he ultimately had to drop the sport due to a knee injury.After graduating from high school, Ed attended Ohio State University for about a “quarter and a half” before heading home. While he went on to take a few credits at two other schools, he soon turned his attention to the military, as generations of his family did before him. “Everybody in my family prior to me was in the service,” Ed told his sons on their “New Heights” podcast. “We’re also talking about family [that] lived through World War II, so that’s what everybody did because that was the background.”

Unfortunately, the Army rejected Ed’s application due to the same knee injury that ended his football career. He went on to enlist for the Coast Guard—only for his dreams to be cut short again. During boot camp, Ed learned that he had Crohn’s disease: “I’d never had that before, and I was sick. I went through most of the basic training with some severe gastrointestinal issues,” he said on his sons’ podcast. “They don’t need sick people in the service, they need people who are ready to perform.”

Forced to pivot once again, Ed went on to have a successful career in the steel industry. He even made a habit of bringing his sons to work with him from time to time so that they could experience his job for themselves. “I’d take them there — hard hat, safety glasses, boots, the whole nine yards,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “I’d tell them, ‘You can have a job like your mother’s, or you can have a job like mine.’” Travis and Jason Kelce’s mother, Donna Kelce, graduated with a Masters in Business Administration and worked in finance until she retired in 2021.

Ed’s love story with Donna began when they both went to the same bar one night. As it turns out, Donna was actually on her way to another date before she decided to grab a drink first. Ed stopped by the bar after work, still covered in dirt from head to toe after working at the steel mill all day. “I’m in coveralls that are covered in cement,” Ed said on an episode of his sons’ podcast. “We started talking and she gave me a ride home.” Donna ended up skipping her original date! Not wanting the night to end, Ed took a quick shower before taking her to another bar. “She came in and I told her ‘hold on, let me change.’”

Donna and Ed went on to tie the knot in the late ’70s. About five years after their wedding, the pair welcomed their oldest son, Jason, followed by Travis two years later. They went on to raise their boys in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, before sending their sons off to the University of Cincinnati. Jason and Travis would each go on to play college football before they were both drafted by the NFL in 2011 and 2013, respectively.

After both of their sons graduated from college, Ed and Donna went their separate ways, filing for divorce from each other after about 25 years of marriage. The former couple opened up about their divorce in the 2023 documentary, Kelce. In the doc, the proud parents talked about their decision to stay together as long as they did for the sake of their kids. As Ed explained in the film, “If we had split as we probably both would have preferred, that would have been a nightmare with the logistics, getting kids where they had to be and providing all the support.”

Ultimately, we’d say it all worked out for the best: Donna and Ed raised two NFL superstars, both of whom have made it to the Super Bowl twice. They had to get their hard work ethic from somewhere, which also begs the question: what is Ed Kelce’s net worth? For everything we know about how much the father of two is worth today, keep on reading ahead.

What is Ed Kelce’s net worth?

While Ed Kelce’s net worth is not confirmed, Players Wiki lists his net worth as $100,000 as of 2023. Considering that he’s raised two Super Bowl stars, however, it’s possible that Ed Kelce’s net worth is even higher today.

As for his sons, Travis and Jason Kelce’s contracts make them among the highest-paid NFL players in the league. Travis Kelce’s net worth is currently around $30 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The Kansas City Chief tight end renewed his contract with the team in 2022 for $57.25 million, landing him an annual salary of $14.3 million until 2026. The football star also has brand deals with Nike, Old Spice, T-Mobile and Dick’s Sporting Goods, McDonalds and Papa Johns, among others.

Compared to his brother, Travis has joked about how he doesn’t get paid enough, telling Vanity Fair, “My managers and agents love to tell me how underpaid I am. Any time I talk about wanting more money, they’re just like, ‘Why don’t you go to the Chiefs and ask them?”

Meanwhile, Travis’ brother Jason Kelce‘s net worth is estimated to be slightly higher at $40 million. The Philadelphia Eagles player is considered to be the highest-paid center in the NFL. Jason’s contract was renewed for one year in 2023 at $14.25 million, which includes a base salary of $1,165,000 and a $10,335,000 signing bonus. The athlete’s fortune is also made up of lucrative endorsement deals and real estate investments, including a property in his hometown of Cleveland and a nine-acre farm in Pennsylvania.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ed relocated from Cleveland to Philadelphia to be closer to Jason, his wife, Kylie, and their three children. He currently lives a mile away from the farm where Jason and Kylie are raising their kids, and he regularly visits to help with growing and picking produce from their garden, per the Los Angeles Times.

The best-selling book delves into the history of the first Super Bowl, which was originally known as the AFL-NFL Championship Game. (The term “Super Bowl” was coined only in its third year.) The debut game, between the winning Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs, was played in front of only 61,946 people at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum—an audience well below the stadium’s capacity. Harvey Frommer, a sports historian and reporter, puts the tale of that momentous game together using oral history, gathered by hundreds of interviews with players, coaches, media and spectators alike.
